I don't know what the HP gains would be between the different systems nor do I care all that much because I view all of them to be farily close. 3hp or so isn't much of a difference to me. I was more concerned with the quality of the kit, the sound of the catback, and the fact that there is no drone inside the cab of the truck while driving or at any other time. Most of the time I can hardly hear the exhuast with the windows up and the radio on. Having a sound like I am in the middle of a industrial power plant while I drive down the street doesn't impress me at all. The flows along with the other companies all have their own muffler design and sound. I love my corsa and like the straight thru design. I wouldn't trade it for anything else at the moment.

BradWlv - Do you have the Sport or the Touring Exhaust?

Yea i understand wat your saying 100%. Jsut trying to get somemore info on the system. Everones seems to love it and I mgiht jsut go with it hehe. Just seems pricey to spend 700 on a good tone and tips. But you wouldnt haappen to have any sounds clips would you? I'd lvoe the hear them!

I have the sport side exit on my truck. The price is high compared to others, but after seeing it and doing the install I didn't feel as if it was too bad for the price. Only thing I dislike is that I can't keep my tips clean. I constantly have soot(sp?) on them and have a hell of a time keeping them looking like new.

I don't have any sound clips, however, the corsa website has a few sound clips listed on it that you can listen to.

brad,

put nxt booster wax on the tips works great. I have the sport side exit to. I love the dual 4" tips. a bitch to keep nice. but the nxt helps a ton.

as far as gains look at my sig. stock run was 1/4 tank of gas. corsa and cai was with a full tank. DA for both track days pretty close. I think if I was at sea level the gains would be more noticable.

I've switched to the touring on my truck after realizing the sport was too loud for my tastes. Zero in-cab resonance alone is worth the extra money for corsa systems in my opinion.

thats also my only complaint. you have to clean them once a week.

Brad, did you weld yours on or are you still using the clamps?

I just used the clamps because I wasn't very sure how long I would keep the exhuast and it came with some very nice quality clamps.
